When I restring my head I always test it without shooters and I figured out I simply don't need any in my face-off head. Pretty much the exact same reasons you mentioned in the video. Wish I figured this out a couple of months earlier, would have saved me a lot of headache...
I use a weapon x with vortex mesh and no shooters. The vortex mesh gives a snappy release when I play FOSO and great gold. Can do crazy toe drags and bury a ball top corner as well as just taking Faces. Would definitely recommend a Vortex mesh set up for a FOSO mesh choice
Marcus Mak well it’s suggested you use semi soft because of the fact it has to be soft. But I like the semi hard because if the mesh is broken in it’s fine, the harder mesh gives more of a snap and adds a bit of beans to your shots. I’ve now added a shooter and a nylon in a set of straights. It’s quality mate 💪
If your stick is throwing high and releasing early, string a really really tight channel. Itll give you better hold and the ball will release a little bit later.
No shooters is really nice actually. I personally don't use the nike ceo so no shooting strings originally gave me no whip at all and the ball would just fly out my stick with every pass. So to add whip and hold I started using ECD's vortex mesh. I don't need any shooting strings on it and the hold along with whip is great enough without shootings string. I recommend you guys also use it if you want some whip in your stick without having to use shooting strings
When I got my new Noz I got vortex mesh, it added so much hold and whip that I could take all my shooters out and play like normal(and I’m a guy who likes a lot of hold) and even the back of the head when facing off held on better. It’s very consistent and makes face offs better for me and makes the whole thing more consistent
In my ceo and my superpower I used no shooters because of the forward face flex, but now high the duel, it mainly only face flexes sideways meaning there isn't much added whip. So to make up for that I just put in two loose straits
You can use anything! I would recommend nylons over shooters if you want to use something, because nylons are just easier to adjust and don't seem to get pulled on as much as the cotton shooters do during faceoffs.
@@Gklplus thank you 🙏🏼, I’ll try it out cuz sometimes I feel like me passes or shots(if I get any) go flying, and if I don’t like it I’ll just take em off.
im a benched midfielder and I really like using no shooters it helps me throw water bottles to the actual players. thanks GKL!!!!

Thanks, does the vortex mesh provides more hold?
Marcus Mak yeah it does man means you can dangle a LOT more gives a natural amount of whip 🙏
Thanks for the reply, any other insights for vortex mesh? I use weapon x as well.

reason #5 if it rains your shooters will get heavy and make your pocket throw different. yet i still use 1 shooter and 1 nylon
Definitely agree!
ISO warp mesh… the future is here Blake. You called it. Duel 3 + ISO warp mesh (2 rows folded) is nasty and my 2022 weapon of choice.
👍👍👍 great vid yet again. Cheers
bucklandr thank you!!
I'm a face off guy so this is going to be really helpful
I’ve seen a kid use the maverik kinetik and I need a new faceoff head. If you could you do a review on that it would be much appreciated.
Definitely on the list for heads to review!

Thank you for the idea! We are definitely reviewing Vortex Mesh in the future!

Perfect set-up!
Should I do that
I agree with all the points! That's why I don't have shooters. 😎
Wolf Athletics Rekon head review?
Will do in the near future!
All I put is a nylon
Should I get a Nike ceo or mark 2f?
We're huge fans of the 2F. It pretty much beats the CEO in every category, except most people swear that the CEO is better for 50/50 battles.
mark 2f (my personal opinion). It's all about opinion though. whichever head works best for you.
What mesh are you using?
I play middy does it still do the same
Are nylons alright?
I’d say so but personally try it without and see which one you like better
You can use anything! I would recommend nylons over shooters if you want to use something, because nylons are just easier to adjust and don't seem to get pulled on as much as the cotton shooters do during faceoffs.

@@tommygranda I agree, do what works for you!👍
